On my website, I have pre-made ebook covers for authors on a budget. I also wanted to provide something unique for authors who are unable to hire a cover designer, but whose titles still deserve to be beautifully wrapped.

Or you may have chosen to self-publish after rounds of unsuccessful queries. Either way, all indie authors need to understand the Elements of a Cover that Sells before finalizing their design and clicking that sweet button on Amazon that allows you to say Continue reading →
